}Saw your post on the British car mailing list. Just curious, what model
}Daimler is it? My parents had an SP250 when I was a little kid, and your
}description could describe the 2.5 v-8. I've had fairly good luck
}clear coating parts with an acrylic spray, but this might not work on
}valve covers due to the heat (I did an alternator and some brackets).
}So far, it has made things very easy to clean off, and you really
}can't tell that it's just real clean. Use the matte finish. I think
}Eastwood has some paint coating that's supposed to like like clean
}aluminum, but I have no idea how good it looks or holds up.
It's a right hand drive 2.5 V8 Saloon. Silver with red leather. Big
enough to haul the five of us around, it's like driving around in a
living room. I got tired of having all the time that I was spending
play^H^H^H^H fixing the 2-seater toy^H^H^H sports cars taking me
mentally off in different directions then the rest of the family. Now
it's become a hobby we all participate in. I think Tris (4) and Roane
(5) got more satisfaction out of helping polish up those parts that I
did. They were really proud of their work. And they love going out on
those Sunday morning performance check-out drives, "Hold on Guys, it
gonna shift again! Now bring her about and ring down for more power!
OK, let's talk like pirates! Arggggg, avast there maties....".
